I am fortunate to say that my paintings have, at various times, been exhibited, sold and commissioned for over 35 years. 

 

Although I enjoy trying and investigating new ideas, experimenting in mediums, subjects and styles, I do have a love of the countryside, farming and all the characters, animal, human, mechanical and any subject that inspires me and landscapes, still life, marine....

I am not formerly trained, just enjoyed occasional courses and I will always be proud that I achieved the most top marks for art in my last year at school for my painting of a bag of spanners! 

 

Depth of colour, the power of light and shadow and reflected light shapes and detail are the life in my painting.

​

 Inspiration comes from a multitude of sources for me to paint and play with ideas . Also, when someone asks me to explore their ideas for a painting, I enjoy the challenge and working with clients on commissions to create their own inspiration for a painting.

​​​ ​

 Most of my work is in acrylics and sometimes oils and pen and ink.

I paint large paintings, sometimes miniatures and all sizes in-between !

 I have recently discovered the joys of egg-tempera and gold leaf.

​

Although my work is mainly representational, figurative, occasionally I enjoy the freedom of working on abstract ideas which have had a very positive response.
